Character

DT17 2.7 HDi V6

"407/607/C5/C6. Ford-PSA-Jaguar co-developed V6 diesel (same as Jaguar/Land Rover 2.7 TDV6). Turbo failure. Injector issues. DPF. Timing chain. Complex and expensive to maintain."

TU5 1.6

"206/306/307 16V. Same TU family as TU3 but 1.6 with 16 valves. Timing belt. Oil leaks at high mileage. TU5JP4 used in 106 GTi/Saxo VTS — great motorsport pedigree. Simple, proven."
